Illustration by Kyle Bean Over the last 12 months, we’ve learned a lot about working remotely. One of the things that I didn’t expect at the outset of the pandemic was how much of a challenge employee wellbeing would be. Just six months into the pandemic, 30 percent of frontline and information workers were already reporting that they felt increased burnout at work. And data from Microsoft Teams users around the world signaled that many of us were working harder and longer: We saw a 48 percent increase in Teams chats per person overall and a 69 percent increase in Teams chats per person after-hours. Now, as hybrid work takes hold, norms are shifting again. B…

By Marina Khidekel, Chief Content Officer at Thrive Global After a year and a half of adjusting to the pandemic's changes and challenges, many of us are finally transitioning toward normalcy — returning to busier social calendars, in-person meetings, and new opportunities. And while we ease into a summer filled with social gatherings and get-togethers, it's only natural to find ourselves struggling to stay focused at work. We asked our Thrive community to share with us the strategies that are helping them stay focused during our return to "normal." Which of these will you try? Allow yourself to set boundaries "I'm leaning into the power of saying 'no…

I am excited to announce the availability of the Linux version of the Kusto Emulator! We released the Windows version of the Emulator last September. You can use it to develop locally on your laptop or run automated tests on a CI/CD pipeline. Today you can do the same with a Linux Container. What does that change? First, you can run it on a Linux machine (while Windows Containers must run on Windows). This is especially useful for CI/CD pipeline. Second, its size is much smaller, making it much faster to load. It is the same emulator, i.e. the Kusto Engine endpoint, packaged in a container, now a Linux container! See the announ…

Jonathan Larson, Neha Shah, Kevin Sherman, and Natalie Singer-Velush Editor’s Note: COVID-19 has impacted people around the world, challenging us to adapt to travel restrictions, school closures, and the removal of barriers between work and life—all at once. So, what does a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, analysts, and marketers that lives in the space between workplace culture and data do when presented with the world’s largest work-from-home shift? It, well, does its homework. In this blog series, we’ll share real-time learnings as we measure the impact of this unprecedented shift on how one group of employees works, connects, and balances ou…

By Jessica Hicks, Managing Editor at Thrive Global When stepping into a new role, especially if you'll be managing others, it's normal to feel a little unsure of yourself or what to expect. That's why new leaders are often told that their first leadership stint should focus primarily on listening to others rather than speaking their own voices. And if so many of us hear this advice, then it must have some validity — right? Not according to Sarah Lewis, Ph.D., a Harvard professor and the founder of the Vision & Justice Project. Lewis appeared on Brené Brown's podcast, "Dare to Lead," and when asked about leadership advice, Lewis had an interesting take on…

By Marina Khidekel, Chief Content Officer at Thrive Global The pandemic has radically transformed the workplace, and for many of us, remote work has become a long-term new normal. But even with technology to keep us connected and productive, collaborating with teammates over instant messenger and keeping meetings focused over video conferences can be challenging. We asked our Thrive community to share the small techniques they are using to keep their meetings efficient and productive as we continue to work from home. Which of these will you try? Give yourself permission to decline "As an account director at an advertising agency, I have a lot o…

As organizations continue to face an ever-evolving threat landscape, it is essential to have an effective posture management strategy in place. To do this effectively, security analysts not only need to consider industry standards and vendor best practices, but also take recent attacks into consideration. Investigating incidents that affected the organization helps understanding how the adversary got in and what misconfigurations were leveraged during the attack. These learnings enable security analysts to identify which settings should be addressed to close those gaps and prevent the organization from being affected by the same attack again. Microsoft 365 Defender…

In this blog, we are summarizing the highlights from Build 2023 on how developers can build 5G Modern Connected Apps at the Edge. Today, the cloud as we know it is rapidly expanding into a highly distributed and ubiquitous computing fabric that is being powered by a modern network infrastructure and a new application and connectivity paradigm – what we call Modern Connected Apps. Modern connected apps are highly distributed, low latency, and network intelligent applications that help us to more easily put compute power into hard-to-reach areas – whether over large bodies of water, hundreds of feet underground, or in rural areas where there is limited connectivity. U…
